Alternate versions
Two versions of the film were made and released: (1) The far more accessible continental European cut, "L'abre de Noël", where William Holden's English dialogue was dubbed over, and all the European actors spoke in native tongues; (2) and an alternate international English language cut, "The Christmas Tree", where a majority of the cast spoke phonetic English before being dubbed over by voice actors.

Connections

Still up to date ,to see even if you don't like to cry .

I red the book when I was 11 and wanted to see the film . I liked it the same . Now I am 35 and I still like to see it sometimes . It's a good analysis of the characters . What would you do if a person you love very much have to die en six month . Bourvil is my favourite actor and it is one of his best role .
